Expecting the Inspector

by Paul Lester

The humorous title poem in rhyming quatrains has the narrator in a familiar drama, dreaming he is naked on public transport, with no tickets or money and 'Expecting the Inspector'. There's a darker mood, literally,in 'The Government's Eclipse',in which a total eclipse of the sun has become incorporated as government policy. Others poems include the melancholy aftermath of a traffic accident 'When the Flowers Wither','Stamping Out The Rain', ''Drowned Town' and 'Video Ghostings'.
